| Commentary | ".... only behold, gentlemen, said he:...".
At the inn stable, don Quixote, holding the barber basin, claims it to be Mambrino's helmet before a barber (its owner), the other barber (Nicolás), the priest, don Fernando, his companions, Cardenio, the judge don Juan and don Luis. Good variety of figures and gestures; lightly theatrical. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details. Realistic/picturesque style with good light and shadow effects. |
| Notes | 1 – After José Jiménez Aranda’s death, his brother, Luis Jiménez Aranda, continued illustrating Don Quixote (part I) following a very similar realistic/picturesque style as the one used by his brother, but, sometimes, his figures lack naturalism. |
